Well, there's a problem with nylon.  During a get-off, you tend to slide
some, and this builds up a lot of heat in local areas.  Nylon melts.
So besides road rash, you're picking a fused nylon/skin mixture out of
your arms....

(This is per a "Best of 198something" cycle magazine.  It's at home.)

Try a good denim jacket in the summer.  It's a little cooler than leather,
and, I have heard, is second only to leather for protection.
